I tend to use "colorful" language when I'm with people that enjoy that type of thing. I will however completely change my language settings when I am with family and or professionals that just don't appreciate that verbal approach :D
I've had a few people express utter shock when I drop an "f-bomb" or similar. I tend to reserve swearing to emphasize a point, so using it too much makes it lose its potency. ;)
That's more or less how my parents raised me, and how I have raised my kids: only swear around people who will appreciate it; and when you do swear, do it creatively and with gusto. Another thing my dad taught me has proven true a number of times: every great once in awhile, being the only person in the room who is not swearing can pay off big time, so think it over before you join in.

I agree. A good F bomb goes a long way. :)
